Chapter 113: Clay Rabbit and Clay Duck

any time.""Okay, get ready and come with me to move. By the way, Ding Yi and Ding Er, you two are responsible for driving the oxcart. I have quite a few wild chickens and rabbits at home, so you guys...An Xuetang didn't dare to think too much. She knew very well in her heart that perhaps Ah Jing had already occupied a special place in her heart, and she couldn't let herself sink any deeper.

"Sugar" Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why don't you speak"

An Xuetang came back to her senses and gave a relaxed smile. "I don't want to know who Jing is, I only know that Jing is mine now."

Afterward, who he would be, or to whom he once belonged, she didn't want to know.

She was afraid, afraid of being replaced by a mistress. After all, in this day and age, someone like Mo Yunjing's age wouldn't be unmarried and without children almost impossible.

He was just injured and poisoned, so he didn't have a chance to go home. Perhaps his wife and children are waiting for him somewhere

Although men in this era can have multiple wives, An Xue Tang finds it unbearable. She cannot accept such a lifestyle and will not share her man with anyone else.

So she had already decided that once her husband, Jing, left, she would live the rest of her life as a widow, supporting herself financially and enjoying the finer things. As for men, she didn't need them in her past life, and she certainly didn't need them in this one.

Mo Yunjing couldn't understand her meaning. He was pleased by An Xuetang's words, 'It's mine, Jing,' and at this moment, he didn't want to reveal his identity to An Xuetang.

He also had a concern, because An Xuetang once said that she disliked trouble, but his identity was destined to bring him trouble for life.

He was thinking of waiting to slowly delve into An Xuetang's heart, until she couldn't bear to leave him, and then confess to her. Perhaps by then, she would be willing to accept that so-called troubled life for him

Each person had their own thoughts and didn't say anything more at the moment.

"How are you feeling today, Ah Jing How are your legs"

"I feel much better today, not as painful as the last two days."

That's good, in a few days, I'll give Ajing a massage and acupuncture. In just a few days, we'll start rehabilitation training, and Ajing will be fine.

Moyu Jing twitched his lips, "Well, I feel very reassured with Tangtang here."

“...”

Flustered by his intense gaze, An Xuetang's cheeks flushed crimson. She quickly turned away, "Ah Jing's bamboo bow is so good, I really like it. I...I'll take it back to my room first."

Mo Yunjing's eyes flashed a hint of pleasure. "Good."

In the next few days, in addition to taking care of Mo Yunjing, An Xuetang followed Ding Hua to look at the fenced-off rabbit enclosures and duck enclosures.

These two large enclosures are surrounded at the base of two hills; they were built specifically to raise rabbits and ducks.

"Miss, there are fruit trees and some wild game on these mountains. I'd like to bring people into the mountains regularly to hunt for wild game and pick fruit."

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Sure, but there are bound to be large beasts in these mountains. Be careful when you go in."

"Understood."

An Xuetang watched the rabbits eating happily, she curled her lips and smiled, "By the way, Ding Hua, our family's rabbits will need to be shorn in the future, so you need to arrange people in advance. When the rabbit fur is almost ready, shear it down and store it."

Ding Hua's eyes lit up, as if she had just understood why An Xue Tang kept rabbits. "Miss wants to sell rabbit fur"

An Xuetang smiled, "No, I won't sell the rabbit fur directly. I want to make clothes. When autumn comes, we can get this business started. I had you clean out so many empty rooms, and then they'll be turned into workshops. We'll make thick winter clothes ourselves to sell."

Selling clothes makes much more money than selling rabbit fur directly.

"Where's the duck Is miss also collecting down"

"Yes." An Xuetang curved her lips, the duck down making the garment feel light yet incredibly warm. She planned to sell these duck-down garments exclusively to wealthy young ladies and gentlemen.

As a well-rounded killer from the 21st century, An Xuetang not only possesses medical skills but also excels in design.

Designing some stylish and high-end clothing for her would be no problem at all.

Ding Hua first felt that An Xue Tang in front of him was probably much smarter than he had imagined.

An Xue Tang simply outlined her plan, "By the way, have you chosen the people I asked you to screen"

"I've already selected a group of people, just waiting for the lady to make the final decision."

An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile, "Alright, then take me there now."

A few days ago, An Xuetang suddenly told him to select some people, preferably both male and female, who were hardworking and articulate. Ding Hua had no idea what she wanted them for.

But she still selected ten people, five men and five women, from dozens of servants according to her requirements.

An Xuetang went to see them and quickly decided, it's these ten people.

It's quite a coincidence, they are five couples. This saves Team An Xue Tang from any trouble.

From now on, you are in charge of going out to do business.

... Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Going out to do business

Ding Hua was also surprised, what kind of business How could he not know

An Xuetang knew they were confused, so she explained, "We have raised many rabbits and ducks, haven't we We take their fur and sell it to restaurants or other places, but the price isn't good. So I decided to make these two dishes myself. You ten people will be divided into five pairs and sell them at different markets in the city."

Ding Hua raised an eyebrow, "Then Miss, should we hire a chef"

"No, let's save on the chef's cost. I'm planning to roast both the rabbit and the duck. I have recipes for roasted duck and roasted rabbit, and I'll teach you how to make them."

An Xuetang didn't just talk, she had someone prepare a rabbit and a duck, then took the people to the kitchen.

This plan wasn't something she came up with on a whim, so she had some of the materials needed already prepared.

In the kitchen, An Xuetang took matters into her own hands. She patted the washed duck and rabbit to remove excess water, then rubbed them all over with salt.

Next, she added the pre-purchased array of spices to the container: sweet wine, star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, scallion segments, ginger slices, sugar, and a small amount of water.

She mixed the seasonings and then began massaging them into the rabbit and duck. Within a few minutes, the rabbit and duck were lightly seasoned.

Then she had someone bring out the washed lotus leaves and wrapped both the rabbit and the duck separately in them.

"If we were formally starting business, this step would take another two hours before we could move on. But today, for a demonstration, we'll skip that."

After explaining, she put the rabbit and duck wrapped in lotus leaves into separate pits. The pits were very hot because a fire had been built there beforehand.

After she put them in, she took a shovel and completely buried the rabbit and duck under the hot earth.

After finishing, she patted her hands and explained, "This is how you make baked rabbit and duck. The temperature of the earthen kiln is very high, so after an hour, the rabbits and ducks will be cooked." The enemy was about to launch another attack on the North Border.Today in court, the Emperor sat with a gloomy expression and coldly interrogated the civil and military officials below him, "With the...
